Fifty years ago, Montreal opened its doors to the world through the 1967 World’s Fair, an event that brought the metropolis across the planet … and allowed people here to learn the culture and culinary arts from elsewhere. Visit the McCord Museum to enjoy the Fashion Expo 67 exhibition, devoted to Canadian fashion at the time, with more than 60 costumes worn by hosts from various pavilions. You will also see photos, archive videos, and sketches.

You can also visit the Quartier des spectacles, from September 18th to September 30th, to attend Expo 67 Live, an event presented on giant screens from archival documents. It is a “real journey in time, unique and innovative”. The entrance is free and four performances will be given each evening.
